Filming first day

Yesterday we started filming and we discovered that we has chosen the worst weather conditions ever. It was freezing cold, there was non-stop rain and it was very dark which was the biggest problem. This is because we now think that the lighting may have been too dark and we won't know until Monday, when we upload, whether we need to re-shoot any parts. It also took longer than we thought it would, because we would rather have filmed too much than too little. I think we worked really well together and I am proud of most of the shots taken. I am also hoping that our continuity is alright, even though we did use masking tape to mark where the actors were last standing. It was quite weird how we didn't film chronologically, I actually found this quite difficult, as I was loosing track of what we had and hadn't filmed , even though we did stick to most of our storyboard.

Another problem which I wasn't expecting was our Location to be so busy, as there were people walking past quite often, even though it is normally quiet. We still have one more shot to do but I am relieved that the majority is finished. What I also found challenging was being the director. I am really not used to bossing people about and having everyone waiting for my direction.This is the first time I have fully taken charge of something and in a way I am quite proud of myself but it could have gone a bit better but I am blaming the weather for that. I am now looking forward to uploading and seeing how everything looks and hopefully it is all fine.
